Summary

Luverne High School in Luverne, AL, is a PK-12 school within the Crenshaw County district, serving 745 students in a community where about 68% of families qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school shows a clear pattern of strong early success that fades as students get older. In 3rd grade, 84% of students were proficient in English, far above the state average of 64.75% and beating nearby Highland Home School (63.33%) and Brantley High School (73.68%). However, by 8th grade, English proficiency drops to 50.94%, below the state average of 58.53%. The same trend appears in math: 3rd graders hit 66% proficiency (well above the state's 44.89%), but by 11th grade, only 26.92% are proficient—essentially matching the state average of 27.21%. This suggests the strong foundation built in elementary school isn't carrying through to the upper grades.

The most pressing concern is the graduation rate. At 77.1% for 2024-2025, it's significantly below the district average of 83.9% and the state average of 91.5%, and it represents a sharp drop from 87.7% the previous year. This decline is school-specific, not a district-wide trend. Chronic absenteeism is likely a contributing factor—at 21.8%, it's nearly double the state rate of 12.0%, though it has improved from 29.9% the year before. For comparison, Zion Chapel High School in the neighboring Coffee County district, which serves a student body with lower economic need, boasts a 96.3% graduation rate and just 5.1% chronic absenteeism. While Luverne does outperform its in-district peers in 11th-grade math and science, the combination of declining test scores, high absenteeism, and a falling graduation rate points to a need for targeted support for students as they move through middle and high school.
